Wagner Vineyards Semi Dry Riesling 2017 Review
If you dig on that petroleum aroma that is inherent in some riesling, this is for you. If not, then it might be a bit intense. The wine is mostly that vibe with the aroma of sugared peaches hanging out as well. The palate is a little lean other than the sweetness, but at this price it might be a good starting point if you are trying to get into the grape.
